A few months ago I stumbled across a free IP geolocation database because I find myself using online services from time to time – I was sort of surprised how often it’s helpful to know where traffic is coming from (outside of Google Analytics, etc.).

Using the database I found, I threw together a script that takes a list of domain names and / or IP addresses and gives you an idea of where it lives:


dan-lecocqs-macbook:~ dlecocq$ ipquery google.com
209.85.171.100 Mountain View, US 94043 37.4192 -122.0570
dan-lecocqs-macbook:~ dlecocq$ ipquery yahoo.com
68.180.206.184 Sunnyvale, US 94089 37.4249 -122.0070
dan-lecocqs-macbook:~ dlecocq$ ipquery apple.com
17.251.200.70 Cupertino, US 95014 37.3042 -122.0950
